I don't know the exact situation, but it is important that people know that a common factor in every single domestic abuse case, and it's that the abusers friends "can't believe it!" because "they have always seemed like such a nice person!" Abusers are very very good at having a public face and a private face and all this "innocent until proven guilty" is always going to go against the victim, which is why the court of public opinion never works.

Again, I dont think its reasonable to expect that you can just say "this guy is creepy" and expect that they will get immediately banned without any verification.
If you sent transcripts/screenshots/included details of what was said to you in person, then obviously I am out of line here, but that isnt what you wrote on reddit.

Whataboutism is not the look.

I'm a cis white male evangelical.
I basically grew up in Mayberry in church.
My head will probably never stop spinning from the cultural change that has happened in my life time.

But I care about people, and if we care about people, we have to learn the language of caring.

"Where are the corp females" and "mayonnaise" is not the language of caring in a diverse context.

Mittens has frequently talked about how when something he doesn't normally have to deal with comes to his attention then his default reaction is shooting everyone involved.

Like, maybe this particular scenario wasn't what he had in mind when he said that, but Random Line Member #8593 doesn't necessarily know that.

i also directly spoke with him and had his word the situation was being handled properly right before he spouted some poo poo about "some wounded birds aren't worth trying to rescue" then erased everyone and everything involved so no he isn't really worth trying to contact directly

idk why anyone assumes the punishment for "things that might be up for some interpretation because we're all kinda weird nerds" has to be banning.

Like, I'm not gonna speak for any of the people having to deal with this, but I suspect: "hey, we don't claim to know the whole story here but we're not the goddamn police either, so: don't talk to this person, don't DM them, don't use our platform to reference them, or the next time this comes up, you _will_ get the boot" is, y'know, a decent middleground that sets expectations so that if the behavior doesn't stop, well, the airlock option had clear conditions set.

This.

I'm involved in a similar process elsewhere right now, and I'm finding that this thread is well timed for me. Seeing a parallel process unfold in which I am not invested (but my sympathies go out to those who are) is actually giving me better clarity. I will say that whereas privacy is crucial at some stages, should a finding of wrong doing be made, continued silence only serves to marginalize the accuser/victim and possibly even empower the abuser. And the process had better be transparent and clearly spelled out so that when it goes necessarily silent trust can be maintained.

Wish I had a dollar for each person who has expressed shock, that they thought the accused "was one of the good ones!"

Hi, I have been disciplined, I have been r/o, I am an edgy clown. Many times.

The major difference that is obviously beyond comprehension of some people here is that I have never personally attacked anyone over race, gender, or else. I am not like that.

Do you seriously think a homophobe would spend hundreds if not thousands hours in fleets led by my dear gay FCs? Well you all can think whatever you want and I will defend your right to do so.

Yes sometimes my jokes suck and are unfunny or little offensive, but claiming I am a nazi transphobic whatever without ever talking to me EVER is childish. Too bad. If I ever harassed someone, please show me when and who it was. I will apologize, if you have nothing, please do shut up about it.

Expecting the rest of the planet to be superwoke according to your standards is detached from reality. It might be like that one day, who knows. Pushing too hard has exactly the opposite effects as desired, so good luck with that. If you can't see how Goonswarm changed in the last decade because you came back last year and then rage quit over :ccp: being poo poo, that is not my problem.

Also it is not my fault that Delta is annoying every imaginable director that actually does poo poo for the people, or that FNLN is a thief. My concern in Eve is to play a spaceship game, make sure we are a good team with good people. When I see random idiots from the past coming in and bitching about everything, demotivating people and blowing poo poo out of proportion I am not going to be silent, spent way too much time building up, not tearing down.

People will not change their minds, I don't blame them, they are set in their ways, changing the language and still being a total ignorant rear end in a top hat makes no difference for me.

There are people who owe me an apology and I am willing to accept.

No one is going to apologize to you, holy poo poo. The only reason I didn't hit your last posts harder is because there's a standing policy from SA admins that we only punish behavior on the forums and not poo poo that happens via in-game chat, on goon discords, whatever. While it kind of makes sense, it also makes it look like I'm tacitly endorsing your transphobic bullshit by not calling it out via probe/ban.

Consider this the official call out.

I have zero tolerance here for transphobia or victim blaming. By importing your drama here, you now made it my problem. Knock it off.

As far as the whole issue that started this, I'm fairly sure that most mods here post-Lowtax are inclined to believe victims of harassment. Especially since this has now happened multiple times with your leadership. Sincerely, I wish you all the best of luck in figuring out a process to handle these sorts of allegations better in the future. Revamping toxic cultures and practices is tough but super important, and thank you to the people ITT who have been willing to call out the issues.

Been through the process of discovering that one of my close friends victimized multiple mutual friends. Stopped associating with them and made sure that (within the victim's boundaries) everyone knew why. If you continue to stand with abusers or even just let them continue going about their business while saying nothing you empower them, as they see no consequences.
